Sunny morning


Saturday's dog walk: the Sandy River.  An opportunity to feel the sunshine and have a good walk were too good to pass up.  Along the way I saw these wildflowers.  (Question:  When does a wildflower stop being a flower and start being a weed?)  Take a close look at the lovely blue blooms. 


 Who is that walking up ahead in the distance?  A man pushing a cart of some kind...


Oh!  It's a baby basset buggy!  Arv and Bo get a lift to speed things up a bit, because we want to actually get to the river.


 Destination: the Sandy River, looking quite low despite all the rainfall and snow melt-off.

More wildflower blooms

 Basset parade, tails wagging - it's time to head back.

The remainder of the day was spent at the Berry Festival in downtown Portland and Camas Days in Camas.  Berry Festival was definitely the highlight.  We cam away with a full flat of strawberries and four jars of sugarless marion berry jam.  Mmmm... marion berries!  Now that's what I call summer!
